Congrats to the Dads' & moms....best job I've ever had...ask my kids! A 1 & 5 yr olds......heaven, if you can keep up,,,,, Dad! LOL
Taking care of parents.....I watched it destroy my wife's folks family. It didn't get to crises but nearly so. I'm glad that you acknowledge the stress, I know that it's off the charts for you guys. Especially w/ 6 !! Wow! Good for you on Home school....that takes real effort.
Kind of like if the meteor hits, it won't much matter where it came from kinda thing..... I do appreciate the comments and agree but lets leave that alone. I promised W that we'd stay good boys and girls.
Fact is, inflation hits us all differently......for instance in my job, I have not paid for gasoline for nearly 35 years. So all that pain at the pump was just another day to me. However that 6500 shed last year is 9K today....and that came straight from the bank so I get hit like everyone else...and of course I eat.....that hurts. My elect bill is on budget billing is 226mo yet I was in the hole with them 800 bucks b/c they weren't allowed to adjust the billing re: covid. I sent it to them yesterday but that isn't insignificant to me.
Seriously though, inflation has always been a fact of life and pragmatic folks plan contingency for it....never enough but at least they have grasped the concept so they are paying attention. That seems to describe this group fairly well from my view. That's not a bad place to be.
Come on megamilllions baby! THAT is an addiction I never had...gambling. I did lose 20 bucks on it a when we went to NY a couple wks ago on a lark though....a BILLION? Can you imagine the party? No, we aren't going to waste on a band or some stupid stuff like that, only self servers do that. If you wanna have a real epic party....give everyone the money! Right? Told you guys that I was cool......lol
